Chapter 2872: Chapter 2872: Important Clues

"Who is the owner of this place?"

"The legal representative is someone named Mahar, should be the owner of the store," Li Zhengnan said.

"Check this person’s identity, and if anyone related to this place is found, investigate them thoroughly as well."

"Okay."

After arranging the specific matters, Lin Yi looked at Ning Che and said:

"Ask people in your circle if they know about this place."

Ning Che took out his phone, sent a few messages in his group, and spread the word he wanted to gather.

"Are you suspecting that this place isn’t clean?"

"It’s not just about being unclean," Lin Yi said:

"The base of the Central Guards Brigade is right here, and then a place like this appears. I always feel it could be their intelligence hub."

Upon hearing this, the people from the Central Guards Brigade felt a slight sense of tension.

Even Li Zheng and Zhang Xu sensed something was wrong.

The impact of this matter might be more significant than they initially thought.

Soon, Ning Che got a response, glanced at the message, and said:

"Some of my friends have been here. The grade is okay, but not top-notch. Compared to some wine clubs in Zhong Hai, it’s still a bit lacking."

"Looking at it this way, it does seem a bit suspicious."

Lin Yi pointed to the entrance and said:

"The cars parked at the entrance, each one isn’t cheap. Those driving these cars are picky. If your friends find it average, in their eyes, it would be considered trash."

"The way you put it reminds me," Ning Che said:

"But there’s another possibility. This isn’t just a wine club; there might be dirty transactions inside, attracting these people."

"Whatever the case, this place isn’t clean."

While the two were talking, Yu Siying and Zhang Chaoyue jogged back.

"Boss, there are three doors in total. The front door is open for operation; the back door is locked, with occasional activity, and there’s a side emergency door that’s locked and hasn’t been opened for a long time."

Lin Yi’s eyes shifted, and he said:

"Group One and Group Three, allocate your personnel and secure all exits. Once I go in, don’t let anyone out. If anyone disobeys, shoot them on sight."

"Yes!"

Sssss—

Li Zheng and Zhang Xu felt a shiver run down their spines.

They just realized that these people from the Mysterious Department had much more authority than they did.

Compared to these people, they didn’t even count as errand boys.

Ringringring—

At this moment, Li Zheng’s phone rang.

He answered immediately and hung up a few minutes later.

"It’s been confirmed. Four hours after Chen Shengli disappeared, a business vehicle brought three suitcases here. They were likely hidden inside the cases."

With this news, Lin Yi’s expression grew particularly grim.

"Has there been any suspicious character recently?"

"They analyzed the surveillance; those coming and going seem to be regular customers without any suspicious persons."

"Brother Li’s guess is probably eight or nine out of ten correct," Ning Che said:

"After they captured Brother Chen, they found a place to transfer him and then brought him here, which makes sense timing-wise."

Pausing, Ning Che continued:

"So your analysis makes a lot of sense. This place might really be their hub for secretly observing the Central Guards Brigade’s actions and gathering related intelligence and missions."

"There’s no use in saying that now, we should get ready to take action."

Lin Yi looked at Li Zheng and said:

"Brother Li, those stationed outside are in your hands; follow my command and block all streets immediately. Don’t miss any corner."

"Don’t worry, I’ve got experience with this sort of thing."

"Good."

After arranging the follow-up matters, Lin Yi and Ning Che looked around and then walked towards the wine club.

Although it was already past eleven at night, for this City That Never Sleeps, a wonderful nightlife was just beginning.

And Ning Che quickly got into character, holding Lin Yi’s arm as they headed towards the club.

"Good evening, sir,"

When they walked in, a female attendant in a cheongsam extended her hand and welcomed them in.

The interior decor was quaint, filled with many Western elements.

Once you walked in, it felt as if you’d stepped into the medieval era.

"Is it your first time here, sir, ma’am?" the female attendant asked.

"I’ve been in Zhong Hai all this time, and it’s our first time here. Do you have any good wines to recommend?"

Compared to Lin Yi, Ning Che was more familiar with these aspects and handled it with more fluency.

"Recently, we’ve received a lot of new wines, including an eight-year-old Burgundy and a ten-year-old Chateau Latour; both have excellent flavors."

"These two flavors don’t quite suit me. Do you have vintage Petrus?"

Upon hearing this, the female attendant’s gaze towards Ning Che changed noticeably.

If you weren’t an expert in this field, you wouldn’t make such a request.

"The last bottle of vintage Petrus in the store was booked yesterday, but we have a three-year-old one left, which isn’t considered vintage."

"Let’s settle for this one, and also bring a serving of Iberico ham, sweet shrimp, cherries, and mango."

"Sure," the female attendant said with a smile:

"Would you like to dine in the hall or a private room?"

"Private room, it’s too noisy outside."

"Please follow me."

The female attendant led them to the third floor, into a beautifully decorated private room.

The interior was filled with a medieval aristocratic style, quite fitting for wine tasting.

"You seem quite familiar with this,"

"Familiar with what? I asked in my group," Ning Che said:

"I don’t usually drink wine; they told me to say this so I wouldn’t get ripped off."

"Enough about that; what’s your take on this place? Any suspicious features?"

"None for now," Ning Che said:

"These bastards aren’t ordinary people; they probably won’t expose themselves easily. Our time is limited; we can’t linger too long. We must quickly find the clues."

"If soft methods don’t work, we’ll have to use force," Lin Yi said:

"Let’s see how tough their bones are."

Soon, the female attendant brought Ning Che’s ordered wine and other snacks.

She uncorked the bottle and poured one-third of the wine into a decanter.

"Sir and ma’am, everything is prepared. You can enjoy it in a few minutes."

"Alright."

The female attendant exited, but Ning Che didn’t move.

After a few minutes, Ning Che pressed the bell beside him, and the earlier female attendant walked in immediately.

"Hello, ma’am, is there anything I can help with?"

"Taste it yourself and confirm if this is Petrus."
